TWILOLB 5/23/2016

Our second installment of TWILOLB with your host Yu "Tired of playing at Dr. Pepper Park" Darvish.

Epic Showdown of the Week

This week's ESOTW featured PattyV vs. Expos. Expos powered by double starts from MadBum and Hamels squeaks by PattyV in a match that came down to the final night. Expos hitters single handedly gave Expos the lead on Monday pounding 38 points. PattyV was playing catch-up all week after Tuesday's dominant outing by Bumgarner (9IP, 1ER, 11K, 0W - 31.50 points).

Strong Friday and Saturday showed there is some fight in that dog named PattyV. Heading into Sunday PattyV had a chance with a strong start by Scherzer but that door was quickly closed when Bumgarner shutdown the Cubs and Hamels buzz-sawed through the Astros lineup.

Get on the Bus Triple A Players of the week.


Pitchers
  • Jon Lester - 2.2IP, 5 ER. Lester got smoked by the Giants on Saturday. His outing before that was 7 innings of nohit baseball. Probably just a bump in the road.
  • Jon Gray - 3.1IP, 9ER and what's worse than that...it was against the Cardinals. Pretty sure after 5ER you just start pegging the Cardinals till you get tossed and the fans send you off with racial slurs. The Cardinal way.
  • Matt Harvey - 2.2 IP, 6ER, haven't seen him this upset since Game 5 of the 2015 World Series..ouch.


Unconfirmed Reports Lester left early to bag a buck

Harvey reacts to  his pitching line for the week.

Batters
  • Giancarlo "Don't call me Mike" Stanton leads this week's get on the Triple A Bus Players of the week. 1/21 with a single, 3 walks and a whopping 17 Ks...It's not like you can drop him either. UnderHochaevars hoping he breaks out of this slump soon
  • Brett Lawrie,  The Canadian Vampire went a sweet 2/20 with 1 single and 9 Ks. Maybe its time to ditch the "cool" mouthpiece Lawrie, Glad to see he at least toned down the eye black.
  • Yasmani Grandal. 2/2 1 Single and 10Ks. He has the Day-to-Day tag on him indicating they think he may need some rest to refocus.

Hot Stove Moves of the week



  • Hits for K's Drops Brad Miller in favor of Eduardo Nunez. Nunez goes 0-4...least it was zero and not negative.
  • WarningTrackPower picks up Tyler Wilson for a start on 5/19 goes 3.1 and then goes to the DL with a strained oblique.
  • Tyler White Heat Check 4 games -1 point 0/11 with 4 Ks. HvuSnMyBall would have been better off keeping Greg Holland at this point. Tyler is here to take your questions in the Edward Jones Chatting Cage.

Rundown 3/27/2017

The fires are out, the dust has settled, the League of Legends Baseball draft is complete. Chiefs617 shows us how to almost be a basketball champion in 7 weeks, Final few days of streak, and more in this edition of the Run Down. Almost Champion Chiefs617 has had an impressive 7 week stretch in NBA. Ownership changed hands Feb 1st as Sonderman evacuated his post as legend prior to Season 3 starting. From that moment on Josh's Mediocre Team buzz sawed through the competition with an impressive 6 game winning streak including wins against the top 3 teams. His luck ran out this week in the playoffs against Quebec Kids setting the stage for an epic showdown between Tower of Power and Quebec Kids for NBA league champion. The season series is split 1-1 so it should be an epic match up. March Madness Dumpster Fire We have a whole pile of dumpster fire legend brackets. Who will rise above the ashes to take first place? If UNC wins then thejoestory and PattyV will own the top 2 s...

Go pick your horses and get ready for the most exciting 2 minutes of the first weekend in May (assuming your life is pretty boring the first weekend in May). http://www.thejoestory.com/lol/triplecrown Cruisin I am back on dry ground legends. If vacation taught us anything it taught us that I should just leave my baseball team alone. Let my team cruise (get it...yuck yuck) into first place dominance and just stop making moves. Took the family on our first cruise last week. First night of the cruise had me sicker than Noah Syndergaard owners today. Never spewed but first night had me thinking never cruise again. By day 2 it was a lot better and we had a great trip. Enough of that already how about some baseball. Hot S...

The Baseball HOT STOVE IS ON FIRE, a new legend emerges, and much more on this weeks' RunDown. New Legend We had a new legend emerge on the scene this week, giving League of Legends a test spin, checking out what it's all about. Everyone extend a warm legend welcome to Josh Dorr, AKA Dorrknob. Coach Dorr seems legit already racking up some points in MLS. Only true legends score points in MLS. Welcome board Josh. This ups our Legend Josh Count to a solid 2. HOT STOVE MOVES OF THE WEEK Legends we haven't seen a HOT STOVE like this in the long storied history of League of Legends Baseball. If it were not for, how should I say it, a Stalinisticish like Transaction Limit of 10 the STOVE would go NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR. You can translate that how you wish cause the commish doesn't really have a good bead on foreign affairs but the Kim Dong Jong dude is blowing up missles and throwing parades. Ervin Santana SP, picked up by Lime in the Coconut, POW! 32.5 point outin...
